Being bulletproof has never been this cool! Luke Cage has landed his own Netflix series, which brings the beloved character to the small screen. Jordan and Roger give an in-depth talk about this new addition into the MCU, from its strengths to its weaknesses.

When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city.

One of the many surprises dropped from NYCC 2016, Power Rangers was the biggest reveal released showing the anticipated reboot. The darker and grittier approach has not been a hit with fans, but it shows a new generation of the rangers. It looks like another series going down the Transformers and TMNT road of re-imagining classic shows.

Roger and Jordan hope we get better for the franchise as fans deserve better.Â The guys give us an in-depth talk on the trailer! With some added talk on the films potential.
